Baby Pictures

Here are the ultrasound pictures of Baby. I must say that the pictures are quite blurry ‘cuz the little one was moving around like crazy. One of the most active times so far….except for when I play music. Seems this one likes to dance just like the rest of the family. Of course we also [...]

She’s (FINALLY) Having A Baby!

I don’t even know where to start….life is moving in so many directions some days I don’t even know which way to turn. We’re supposed to be working hard packing for the move to South Dakota…I say supposed to because it is much easier to promise to do the packing later & go play with [...]

Honest Scrap Award

For the love of Aunt Carrie’s corset I got my first ever blog award yesterday. My awesome friend Mary over at FitThisGirl was more than kind to award me one of her coveted 10. ”Becci!! I am nominating you for the Honest Scrap award!! I love your blog honest and raw humor, it is refreshing!”, [...]

October Round Up: Yippie Ki Yay

In this month’s rehash I’m mostly going to post pictures of random things & the visit with my brother TJ, his wife Jen & their boy little A (now I have the Jetsons theme song stuck in my head). October was a month of more struggles for me & Abe. We’ve made some major decisions [...]

Self-Cleaning Oven

Last weekend when I had my head in the oven (no it was not a Sylvia Plath moment) at my brother-in-law’s house I was struck with the overwhelming memory of me as a very young girl in another kitchen.

I have such vivid memories of the first house I really lived in (the first house I [...]

Non-Addictive Cigarettes

I have to tell this story & I apologize to the other person involved–you know I love you girl but this is too funny not to share.

Lately with all the depression & think-y time I’ve had memories have been washing over me–some of them have been like a storm-tossed wave from the depths of Lake [...]

Fleur de Lys Surprise

My husband is amazing! He is also so sneaky & patient it stuns me. Our 7th anniversary was August 31st & with everything so hectic & topsy-turvy we didn’t really celebrate. We did have a quiet evening at home & time together is always the best.

Today I got a surprise belated anniversary gift. It is [...]

Swinging Pigs

5 year old me was always outside weather permitting. I had not yet discovered “chapter” books so although I was an accomplished reader books didn’t own me the way they would during my teen years (ok, they still own me). Being a farm girl there were 6.475 billion things to do on any given day. [...]

I Just Don’t Even Know Where to Begin

Since I truly don’t know where to begin with everything I am just going to let my fingers walk across these keys & see what comes out….No forethought (a big thing for me…I like to know what direction I’m headed. I don’t mind detours or the scenic route as long as the general destination is [...]

All Signs Say “Huh”?

I’m going to tell you a little tale about a girl, the boy she loves, the job she has, the commission he is given & the villian who tries to dash their hopes & dreams.

This girl, Lin is an average looking girl with glasses. She loves Troy, a boy who works hard with his hands [...]
